Dear Reader,
I recently participated in a 48-Hour Film Festival. If you missed that post, read it here.
As promised, this month’s short story is the script for that short film. The story was conceived and written within certain parameters given to us by at 7 p.m., and completed by 12 a.m.
If this is your first time reading a screenplay, a few tips:
Each new scene is numbered and has its own location heading. This is divided between EXT. or INT., which means “Exterior” or “Interior.” Each scene is also notated as “Day” or “Night.” In dialogue, (O.C.) means “Off Camera.”
Without further adieu… NAMESAKE
